Is the Mark of the Beast a microchip, a visible tattoo, or a piece of technology? For many believers and biblical scholars, the answer is no. By understanding the prophetic language of Revelation and its Old Testament roots, the Mark of the Beast is best understood as a symbol of total allegiance to the opposing force—the "Beast" and its system. This symbolic view moves the focus away from a future gadget and onto a timeless conflict over worship and loyalty . The Divine Blueprint: God’s Seal on the Hand and Forehead To grasp the Mark of the Beast, we must first look to the divine command it counterfeits: Deuteronomy 6:6-8 (part of the core Jewish declaration of faith, the Shema ). God commanded Israel: " Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. " This instruction was a command for total devotion and unwavering obedience to God's Law: Forehead: Symbolizes the mind, thoughts, intention, and belief (what you think ). God's Word...

While the official investigation into the shooting continues, the internal drama at Turning Point USA (TPUSA) has exploded into a high-stakes public feud between the organization and its former star, Candace Owens.

The final, glorious edition of this promise is found in Revelation 2:17: “To the one who overcomes… I will give a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.” (NIV) But this is not the first time God has spoken of giving His people a new name. The Old Testament is full of previews: Old Testament Promises of Your New Name Isaiah 62:2–4 “You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow… No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah [“My delight is in her”], and your land Beulah [“married”]; for the LORD will take delight in you…” Isaiah 65:15 “You will leave your name to my chosen ones as a curse… but my servants will be given another name.” Isaiah 56:5 “To them I will give within my temp...
